Introducing the Upgraded iOptron CEM70EC2-NUC Equatorial Mount!

Say goodbye to messy cables and finicky third-party controls! Our new iOptron NUC-compatible mounts offer a seamless integration with Intel® NUC mini PCs (up to 38mm thick). The built-in cable management system ensures a tidy setup, right at the dovetail saddle.

Building upon the acclaim of the iOptron CEM60, we're thrilled to unveil our new medium payload workhorses: the CEM70 and CEM70G. Setting the gold standard in the 70lb payload range, these mounts are chock-full of premium features. The CEM70G even boasts an integrated optical guiding system for enhanced tracking accuracy, streamlining your overall imaging rig.

Our center-balance design remains intact, providing a compact yet efficient and accurate solution for both stargazers and astrophotographers. With precise GOTO capabilities and rock-solid tracking, the CEM70EC2-NUC is a versatile performer that's got your back.

User-Centric Features Galore! From an internal iPolar electronic polar scope to glove-friendly gear engagement levers, we've thought of everything. Add to that an advanced cable management setup that covers the mount, iPolar, guider, and camera, and you've got a mount that's truly designed with you in mind.
